Pterocarpus rotundifolius | Round-leaved bloodwood trees for sale

Round-leaved bloodwood is a medium-large tree with large, dark-green, once divided (once pinnate) leaves. Leaflets are almost round, hence the popular name "Round-leaved". The tree bears bright yellow flowers in profusion and when in flower, attracts a wide variety of insects. In our experience the root system of Pterocarpus rotundifolius is only mildly aggressive. Round-leaved bloodwood is somewhat frost sensitive, semi-deciduous and drought tolerant. Unfortunately it does not do well in a container.

Value to honeybees: Nectar, N1-3;  Pollen, P0-2;   Flowering months 9-3, (11-1).   (See  blog-post "The bee-value of South Africa's trees" for an explanation of codes)
